Happy Wednesday! We're back with our final Community Update thread for this week, and given that it's the day before Thanksgiving here in the USA, today's thread may be short. We likely won’t be doing any new threads on Thursday or Friday of this week as the team is out of office.

Let's dive in, shall we?

Wednesday, November 27th, 9:45AM PST

Buddy Pass Reminder - Yesterday, we announced that Buddy Passes are now available to Founders. Please note that Buddy Passes are not available to those that purchased Premiere Edition. You can learn more about what comes with Premiere Edition here.

Founders without orders - The Stadia team is aware that there are some Founders that still haven't received their orders. If you haven't already done so, please reach out to the Gstore support team. If you’ve already reached out to the team, they should be following up with you before the end of this week with an update. I understand that this situation is less than ideal for all of you, so thanks for your patience.

Code Delivery - If you still haven’t received your Founder’s Edition or Premiere Edition code, please reach out to the Stadia support team for assistance.

Have a wonderful holiday to those in the USA, and we'll catch up with all of you on Monday, December 2nd!

2. Founders without their orders completed: Fair enough, very important because those customers must be absolutely livid by now!

3. Code delivery, once again very important and likewise if you're a founder and not received your code by now, I too would be livid.

But what about updates on things like game bugs that are impacting users? There are a couple of big howlers out there at the moment, and while CodeMasters have given some information about their bug (kudos to them), Square Enix have been giving users the run-around judging from the comments in the forum...

Just a reminder of these 2 issues

Final Fantasy XV Save bug - which is rendering the game unplayable for those users that have hit the bug and cannot save their progress.

GRID critical crash bug - that is preventing players from progressing in their career mode

Have a great Thanksgiving, and we look forward to some updates soon enough.

Hi, my order for a google stadia founders edition was never delivered. I followed the link above but didn’t receive confirmation. So I’m posting here as well. I spoke with someone in customer service at Google on Monday, Nov. 24. They said they would get back to me in 48 hours. I didn’t get a call back and I still haven’t received my order. I’ve also worked with the carrier to figure where my order is. I’d love to hear back from someone about my order.

@Leonardo: Sure I would. I'm not going to waste my time to chase up Square Enix to be told that it is a Stadia problem to then be told by Stadia staff that it is a Square Enix issue as has been the case already...

Google have a contractual/financial relationship with each of the software development companies already, they have a wide range of account managers, service managers, technical staff, support staff and a whole bunch of communication channels already setup with these companies. IMHO they should be using those processes to manage these kinds of technical issues rather than chuck these issues over a fence and hope that it gets picked up.

I don't buy into the mentality of passing the buck, instead they should be proactive and stepping up to the plate and actually making an attempt to excel. Working in the networking field I already know that Google can do this, I see evidence of this on a regular basis with their multivendor networks that Google develops, so they already have the know-how, they just need to get their house in order and accomplish it.
